EVE General Discussion

Not everyone has a bounty on them.

It's not a coincidense that the OP has a bounty and has a whine thread about bounties.

All Pod pilots are bad people. We are immortals who have exploited countless lives for our own devices in order to procure our meaningless mountains of space isks.

This is realistic.

.I dont like this new bounty system .Not cause all my pilots have bounty now ,but cause if people keep up with placing bounties like this is will diminish real purpose of bounty.

I think starting limit for placing bounties need to much higher so if you get one you need to **** your pants ,or if nothing to start thinking hmm maybe I did something wrong.Or if nothing what James Amril-Kesh (poster above me) suggested.This way any foll can go and spent 100 mil isk by spaming 100 k bounties as cheep fun.

When I read patch notes I was thinking ,ok now players in high sec can black mail other players taking regions for mining etc ,but all it is happening is random spam of 100k-1 mil bounties.

Also CCP should make some kind of newbie protection ( yes not all trial accounts are our alts ),cause there are lots of new players that dont understand our pranks .



This is sorry to say plain stupid statement after knowing EVE player base for so many years.There is reason why other MMO player bases calling us psychopaths ,and we like that way.

News flash for CCP Punkturis all people annoy us we are even placing bounties on ourselves .

Sry double post*

It'd be useful if bounties would expire after say 1 year (even if the player keeps playing), so the effects of these "bounty happy" days won't last forever.

I've been laying myself on the sacrificial altar. Flying around in my mighty Velator, calmly awaiting destruction, just to see this mechanic in action.

No bites so far.

A tempest in a teapot, methinks. Nothing will really change. Just the occasional surprise when you get a wallet blink for killing someone you were going to kill anyway.

Mr Epeen

Yay bounties for EVERYONE!

I personally thought it made more sense to have bounties limited to those with a low sec rating, but having it possible for everyone does make it more fair i guess. Everyone having them does kind of diminish their impact though, soon everyone will just accept that they recieve an additional 20% isk value of the kill. The person killed won't necessarily be a bad person. Soon, everyone will be WANTED, regardless of what kind of person they are.

You do realize the kind of people you're dealing with, right?

Anyway, I did finally manage to find the setting the simply turn bounty icons off (still looking for button that turns the entire new UI off, but that's another story). As someone who doesn't give a flying fark about becoming a bounty hunter, this proved to be a great relief.

Absolutely, and for that the bounty hunter system definitely serves its purpose. But the current system also fails horribly because of this:



I understand you are happy people to try it out, but

A: That's what Buckingham is for.
B: The bounties of 100k ISK are, like any bounty indefinite until the player loses his ship which is valued enough to have the bounty paid out in full.

One of the things we players put forth in the dev blog was timers on bounties to make sure they do actually mean something. And if useless bounties are being put left and right on people for the lolz (most likely to see the response), then the person that received it knows it will be gone in a month or so anyway. This was all you needed to do to make the system work. Yet you decided to wait and see what happens clearly ignoring the warnings of players and now you see for yourself that people are clearly not using it the way you predicted. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

This.

'Wanted' implies some of criminal behaviour. This is simply not the case with private bounties. Also, the big wanted sign becomes rather meaningless if over 50% of the population has the sign.

A big red bar also seriously messed up many portraits.
